OMG Miya Folick has launched so many songs from her new album Roach. Like, so many. “I’m a fuckin’ cockroach, and you can’t kill me,” she sings on the newest, which is sensible. It’s not essentially the most elegant method to promote a report, however trickling out a brand new tune each few weeks for the higher a part of a yr actually retains your identify in circulation.
To mood my delicate blogger annoyance, I ought to add that the songs have principally been good. “Cockroach” is among the many better of them — a fluid and intimate little bit of Notwist-esque digital guitar-pop that’ll steer you straight into your emotions should you’re not cautious. A press release from Folick:
I really like this tune and I’m hooked on it. I wrote the melody and lyrics for “Cockroach” driving residence from a buddy’s home. It was May 2021, and I used to be feeling like I had spent the final couple years repeatedly dragging myself again up onto my ft after getting knocked round by life and circumstances out of my management (I feel others could possibly relate). I acquired residence and shortly made a demo of the melody with the keyboard components and the guitar line. I assumed it will be an fascinating interlude or intro for the report, but it surely turned one thing a lot extra highly effective. I requested Sam KS to play some easy drums on it and he ended up enjoying this in a single take, reworking the tune into one thing that feels anthemic in its personal odd manner.
